Timeout isn't supported as part of HttpWebRequest in Silverlight / Windows Phone 7.

You'll need to create a Timer and start that at the same time you start the request. If the timer fires before the HWR returns then Abort() the request and assume it timed out.

For more details and an example, see: HttpWebRequest Timeout in WP7 not working with timer

Yes, but I have two async methods, the response is done in two times. Maybe I should manage two timers ? What method should stop timer ? sendXML_RequestCallback or fCallback ?

Use one timer. Stop the timer when you are happy the method has completed. This will probably be when you've got a response. It depends on what you are implementing the timeout for.
